UEFA.com's ongoing mission to ensure that the world's football fans get the players' names right continues as the round of 16 commences; take a deep breath and try these.

BARCELONA Barcelona's universal popularity has ironed out most pronunciation errors, but Lucas Digne is a tricky one and don't forget that Ivan Rakitić's 'ć' is a 'ch' for English speakers. Also worth mentioning that 'Lionel' is not pronounced the same in Spanish as in English.

BAYERN MÜNCHEN Manuel Neuer's surname can be a problem for English-speakers, who tend to panic when they see more than two vowels in a row. For Robert Lewandowski, note that the Polish 'w' is more like an English 'v'. Up-and-coming forward Kwasi Okyere Wriedt is better known by the first name 'Otschi' (phonetically: Ot-she).

BEŞIKTAŞThe accents on Turkish player names can be daunting, but pronunciation is not impossible. Fans and commentators in Turkey generally use players' first names rather than second, which can make things easier. The Turkish 'c' sounds more like an English 'j', and as for the club's name, it is Besh-eek-tash.

JUVENTUS The Italian 'ch' is more like a 'k' for English speakers, whereas the Croatian 'ć' is an English 'ch'. Gonzalo Higuaín's name has three vowels in a row – a red light for English speakers – but can be anglicised elegantly enough.

MANCHESTER CITYİlkay Gündoğan's many accents can alarm, yet it is easier than it looks; Kevin De Bruyne's name is still routinely mispronounced to rhyme with the English word 'coin'. For extra pronunciation kudos, try saying Sergio Agüero's name as if the 'g's were 'k's.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN The French language's many vowels continue to confound English speakers. Take heart: it is simpler than it looks. Yuri Berchiche is from the Basque Country, meaning a very different pronunciation from what French speakers might expect.

SHAKHTARUkrainian names are transcribed from Cyrillic into the Latin alphabet phonetically, so names sound pretty much as they look – though bear in mind that the Ukrainian 'h' (as in Bohdan, Serhiy, Oleh) is more like a 'kh' for English speakers. Shakhtar's new Brazilian right-back is a 'dudu' and not a 'dodo'.
